A Moroccan court sentenced two suspects, including a German national, to prison on terrorism- related charges, state-run MAP news agency reported.

The appeal court in Sale, the twin city to capital Rabat, sentenced a 29-year-old Moroccan-born German national, identified by the report as M. H., to 10 years in jail after finding him guilty of "forming a criminal gang to plan and carry out terrorist attacks" in the kingdom.

According to the report, he was arrested last September by Moroccan security forces for alleged involvement in terrorist acts.
